on the roads of Southern Califor

liill-cliinliiui; and other point;, of
performance it is the best ear that
we ever made. A recital of the
features of this model will make
it clear why this is ho.

is bronze. There arc cylinders
specially designed for this model,
larc valves, quiet valve lifters,
Iiiejli tcn.sion dual ignition, and a
new carburetor that cuts down
fuel consumption and provides
reat power at the .same time.
The new oiling system is self

THIS model possesses, in the .highest degree, those important
advantages that are peculiar to the Six Cylinder type. It runs
at a foot pace, and by the mere pressure of a pedal climbs
hills or accelerates to express train speed." The motor operates
smoothly at all speeds.
tfl In addition, and very important, The Locomobile Six is notably
ECONOMICAL in the use of tires, the consumption of fuel and the
time needed for upKeep.
J As to the fundamental virtues of Safety and Reliability, it is a
typical Locomobile a car of the highest quality of material,
workmanship and inspection. It is a thoroughly tested and high
ly developed model.
The Locomobile Six is made and distributed by an experienced
organization whose equal aim is to build the finest cars possible
and to render such attentive service to owners that each Locomo
bile will give that complete and permanent satisfaction for which
it was built.

The Advantages of the
Six Cylinder Locomobile
The Transmission is another
feature. The case is bronze, in
suring permanent alignment of
gears, shafts and bearings. Four
speeds and reverse selectively
operated. It gives no trouble
and can be driven several thou
sand miles without adding any
more grease lo the case.
The Rear Construction con
tains no brazing. Alloy steel rear
axle tubes. The elliptic roar
springs are free to act no driving
through the .springs. Universal
joints arc in metal housing will
run 5000 miles or more without
repacking with grc.T-c.
The Appearance is attractive
low lines. The body is grace
ful and roomy, of the four-door
type, and seats seven. The bon
net is short, obviating the clumsy
appearance and waste room of
numerous other sics. The run
ning boards arc clean on both
sides. Tires are carried at the
rear instead of on the running
board, thus improving the ap
pearance of the car and weight
ing the rear spring equally.
Tires are largo In sire nnd not
overloaded, thus itu not wear out be
fore their time. Careful design nnd
construction of tho differential gear
eliminates any binding or cramping
when the car Is turning n rtirnir-.i
condition that Inrtenses tho Ufa (it
the rear tires very considerably.

Is ono thing to say to an onglucur,
"Wo will build a good car nnd will

The Cadillac Motor Car Company Is
In iccelpt of mi interesting bit ot In
formation from K. C Hull, Iho Cadil
lac dealer at Prownvvood, Toxas, of
which tho principal feature Is tho
longevity of u Cadillac car.
Mr. Hall says that about eight
)ears ago ho bought a slngln cylin
der Cadillac one of tho first built i
anil pin u into nvory service, jio
had to travel from Texas to Chicago
to get Mio car, tor of course In thoso
days niitomobllo dealers wcro not so
numerous as now.
After Mils car had been In uso soma
elghleon months, Mr llnll sold II for
?tu. too man wuo uoiigui u pui u
Into what a Texan calls "road work."
That was 1uoio Mian six years ago.
Mr. Hall says ho recently ramo
ucinss this car, which Is stilt doing
load work. Ho asked Iho prlro (f ho
should euro lo buy, nnd was told
that ho could havo It for Just what
ho sold It for; Jiamcly, $400, in t-plte
of tho fuel that tho car hi eight jears
old and has been In nctlvo use all ot

USE IN ACTUAL WARFARE!
' Without doubt for thu first time In
Mio history ot the woild, an niitomo
lilln has been put lo piaetlcal use In
active warfare, iu u leeeut buttle be
tween Iho Muxlcuti federal (loops and
tho lorees of the Insnrroctos.
The hat tin took place near Agiia
Prleta, Iu the steto of Honoia, Mux
loo, which town lies Jusl across Iho
hinder lrom Douglas, ArUona.
When It became known In Douglas
Hint the scenes of real warfare wero
lo ho enaeled In tlio near vicinity,
neuron or die losldouts Hocked to the
unliable locality of tho battle, anion);
thorn thoso citizens who own automo
biles One of theso wus K. It. l'lrtlo,
who hud with him in his Cadillac, his
wife and Mn. James U. Douglas.
I'lrllo'u car eionseil Iho lino at tho
customs house and reached the battle
Held while the nitlon was still la
progress. Two nthor ears wero on tho
scene t Mie same time.
The sight of wounded mid dying
men was more thnn tlio sympathies
of the Alnerhann could "withstand;
mid, Willi Home dltlk'nlty, permission
vyas obtained from Iho Moxlean sol
diers to removo the wounded.
So two wounded moil wero placed
in- I'lrtlo'a ear and n quick-run vnu
made to Agua l'rletn, and afterward
the sumo car conveyed other soldiers,
of both sides, to tho town, where thoy
were placed under tho care ot Amer
